No. 37517, type, from lie a Vache, Haiti. Three times natural size. and surrounded by the supraocular granules; can thus rostralis rather strongly developed, the posterior two of the four enlarged scales which distinguish it having a comparatively heavy median ridge which pro- jects over the loreal region; superciliary ridge continuous with the scales of the canthus rostralis, composed of one very elongate and sharply keeled scale followed by a double series of smaU but differ- entiated scales, the anterior of which is separated from the supraocular disk by four or five rows of granules; scales of the subocular semicircle keeled, narrowly in contact with the upper labials; supralabials about ten, the last four very small, the seventh coming below the center of the eye; temporal granules slightly smaller than the dorsals, with a rather poorly-marked double series of small scales forming the supra- temporal line; back and sides covered with granules, the dorsals about the same size and structure as the laterals; no enlarged series of median dorsal scales; ventrals small, smooth, imbricate, quite irregular in shape but often approximately square, only the most anterior being broader than long; throat covered with small, flat granules; skin of leg granular, with about five series of enlarged scales on the anterior.
